Boy bands maybe the only music I absolutely will not listen to....

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

There’s a Korean sausage joke somewhere in there, I just know it.

TIL...
Big Bang has  have sold over 140 million records and counting, making them one of the biggest-selling boy-bands in the world beating out American favorites like the Backstreet Boys and the Jackson Five

If you haven't heard the 2012 hit Fantastic Baby you are missing out (no you are not)

Goddammit. I would KILL to see Blackpink. But I won't drive to Jersey. Quite honestly, I'm very surprised they're playing arenas, even if it is just half a dozen of them

I was a little surprised too that they were playing 20k stadiums.

yeah...not an option for me either to drag the kids to Newark NJ on a Wednesday
(odd almost all of these dates are Wednesdays...must be cheaper to get these big venues?)


Relaxer...why don't you convince Bob B to do a tiny desk...(and give me a +3 )

Hatch  - is this really a thing your kids are into, or are they your "beard"?

I'm on the fence about BlackPink...they are one of the better kpopers
I'd not go on my own, but would enjoy the show with the kids if they played the Anthem

but it was my kids (via a hip Koren babysitter) who turned me on to KPOP

[kosmo vinyl]

I’ve been listening a bit to the “JPop” group CHAI, who like Baby Queens are girl group with little less pop sheen

[Relaxer]

I'm on it

Thoughts on Otoboke Beaver....

this might have appealed to me when i was 14.

[Relaxer]

This was kinda neat, I guess. I thought the song sounded pretty catchy and the video was cartoonily outrageous and fun. But like Babymetal and some other JPOP bands that lean more to the rock/metal end of things, this just doesn't do much for me. Like, the most interesting thing about it isn't the music or the song but the fact that it's four Japanese women playing schizo noise-punk. Ok.

Since your minds were in the gutter about the name.

The name does not come from slang for ladyparts, it comes from the name of a "Love Hotel" situated near the high school of one of the band members in Osaka.

A Love Hotel is, exactly what you thought it would be.

SideHitch may remember the famous Commack Motor Inn back in his homeland....
